I think that, in his way, he did grieve for the child who was gone, and who, had he lived, would have been the intended heir of his title and property. They must now all go from him to his enemies! And the things themselves were to himself of so very little value! Living alone at Scumberg's was not a pleasant life. Even going out in his brougham at nights was not very pleasant to him.
The letter, which was very short, was as follows: "The Marquis of Brotherton presents his compliments to the Dean of Brotherton, and begs to say that he thinks that some good might now be done by a personal interview. Perhaps the Dean will not object to call on the Marquis here at some hour after two o'clock to-morrow. "Scumberg's Hotel, "Albemarle Street. "29th June, 187 ."
For a moment she almost thought that she would fly after him, knowing, as she did, that he had gone to see his brother at Scumberg's Hotel. But at last she resolved that she would do nothing and say nothing till he should have perceived that she had read the letter. She would leave it open on his dressing-table so that he might know immediately on his return what had been done.
He decided at last that he would go, and left a note himself at Scumberg's Hotel that evening, saying that he would be there on the morrow. He was very much perplexed in spirit as he thought of the coming interview.
Lord George had then started to Scumberg's, saying that he would come to Munster Court again before dinner, but telling her plainly that he would not sit down to dine with her father, "He has determined to quarrel with you." "It will only be for a time, dearest." "But what shall I do?" Now came the peril of the answer.
If the Marquis had said ill-natured things of her it was very cruel, because nobody loved her husband better than she loved her dear, dear George, and so on. The letters were then sent under cover to the housekeeper at the deanery, with orders to send them on by private messenger to Cross Hall. On the following day the Dean went to Scumberg's, but could not learn much there.
